Icloud sync with mail

I migrated from Mobileme to iCloud and my Mail quit syncing seemlessly and continually goes offline, requiring me to manually take it online. Growing tired of that I then deleted my account in Mail and tried to create a new one and now I cannot even create the account using the same user name and login that I have had for years. Is there a new smtp address for iCloud? Please Help!!!!!

Your signature says you have 10.5.7 - is this correct?
If so, you have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Leopard cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode but i want to save my pictures and videos! is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photos

is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photo

When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.

Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
Next, create/update your itunes account.
Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!

Does icloud sync with ical like mobileme did?

I switched over to icloud. So far the ical has not synced, so the events we have on the ical on the computer have not appeared on the icloud calendar. Does the icloud calendar function sync with the ical function on the computer?

I am running Snow Leopard ver. 10.6.8. That may be the problem.
That is the problem, I'm afraid. Officially speaking, Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud, though you can set mail up manually to receive your iCloud email.
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

ICloud syncing with ical with Mountain Lion

I have one icloud calendar on one of my two new macs (MBA 2012 + MBP Retina both with Mountain Lion).
I have events in my calendar on one mac - the MBA. It does not sync to iCloud. I imported that calendar to my other mac successfully but when I refreshed it the calendar went blank just like the calendar on iCloud. How can I get iCloud to update itself?
NB It does it ok for mail and contacts/addressbook

Go to System Preferences>iCloud. You should be able to check which documents and settings you want stored in the cloud and you should be able to then automatically push the items to your iPhone.
From iCloud help:
"iCloud stores your content and wirelessly pushes it to your Mac, iOS devices, and PC. iCloud is built into your Mac apps, so they stay up to date with the apps on your other devices set up with iCloud and with the web apps on the iCloud website. Thereʼs no need to dock your iOS device or sync it to your computer."
Does it work for you?

ICloud syncing with outlook mac

Hi,
Has this been sorted out. I would like to be able to create or view a meeting or contact on my Mac(Outlook 2011), iphone, ipad or icloud(any computer) and have it automatically sync with the other devices in this list?
Can anyone point me to a solution or is this still not working.
Cheers
David

Microsoft have still not added support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
The solution is to use the Apple provided Mac applications (Mail, Address Book and iCal) which are fully iCloud compatible and supported.

ICloud sync with Outlook 2007 on my Win 7 PC fails.

Outlook Connector is linked to my Hotmail account. The email still arrives every day, so I asume that this is OK.
iPhone 4S iCloud settings are: Contacts "On", Calendars "On", Reminders "On", Bookmarks "On". The Account is my Hotmail account. WiFi is "On" and it sees my home WiFi.
I have iTunes set to:
"Back up to this computer", which I assume means my home PC.
Sync Contacts with Outlook is checked.
Sync Calendars with Outlook is checked.
Sync Notes with Outlook is checked.
The Home PC is a new HP 64 bit running a Windows 7 OS.
iCloud fails when connected. An error message appears: "Outlook DAV Config is not responding".
I have removed Windows Mobile Devices from the PC.
How do I get this iPhone 4S to sync with my home office PC?

Maybe you can try this way:

ICloud sync with Outlook issues

My problem is this:
I use Outlook 2013 and iCloud Control Panel ver. 3.0 (latest). The whole sync process completes fine but when I open Outlook I notice that not all folders/subfolders have been synced plus contacts have not been synced with pictures as in the past. I have re-done the process couple of times, every time deleting any previews Outlook data but without much luck. Any thoughts?

ok...
From experience, I can tell you the two calendars are both default calendars with iCloud. 'Work in Cloud' probably doesn't contain any of previous inputs because your iphone probably defaults to your regular calendar.
For me, I was able to get a good understanding by looking at the icloud calendar at icloud.com and the outlook calendar side by side. I recommend doing so, and playing around with things so you can figure out how they work.
With Outlook, you are going to have locally stored stuff (like Contacts), and your cloud-stored stuff (like Contacts in Cloud). That is why you are seeing two different sets of data. It looks like you dont have any locally stored contact, which is fine. All of your contacts are in iCloud (or...Contacts in Cloud), which should correlate to your iphone. again, it might be best to just pull up icloud.com, and put it side by side with outlook. it helped me get a good understanding of how it works.

Windows 7 iCloud Sync with Safari - BookmarkDAV_client.exe

Hi,
I'm trying to activate syncronization between my iOS devices (iphone/ipad) and Safari installed on my PC.
To create context about situation i'm listing the actors of issue:
-Windows 7 Professional x64 running on Dell Latitude E4300
-iCloud utility 2.1.1 (i already downloading latest version to try fix it)
-Safari for windows 5.1.7
-Internet Explorer 9.0.10
I have installed iCloud Services aplication some time ago (some months), but not using syncronization for iOS Safari tabs and favorites. Till then, everything it's ok!
Then, i tryed to configure sync between PC Safari and iCloud. Till this moment, the "Favorites" option in iCloud services was set to sync with Internet Explorer (that was never worked). So i set to sync favorites with Safari, selecting this option in iCloud Services application for windows.
When i do that, almost immediatly my iOS favorites appears in windows safari (not the tabs), and some backgroud application become very active. Almost every 2 seconds i see my mouse icon appear the processing "circle" icon. It makes almost impossible to use the machine.
I undo the setting back to sync with Internet Explorer and this behavior stopped. I do again the set to Safari and it come back again, then i rebooted my computer, and the problem started over again, even before i try to open internet explorer or safari for windows.
Then i search what's doing use of system resources, and discovered that some "BookmarkDAV_client.exe" was using lots of resources. (file was located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\BookmarkDAV_client.exe)
I undo again the syncronization setting, goind back to Internet Explorer option, and the problem stopped.
So, i cannot activate the service to sync with safari because problem shows up. I have searched and don't find anything like this.
Anybody knows something i can do to fix it?
Thanks, and my best regards.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the same question, although I am not trying to sync through iCloud, just desktop to device. If you have been successful getting this to work would be grateful to hear! Thanks.

Icloud Sync with Gmail Contacts

I've successfully synced my Iphone 4s with my Macbook Pro Address Book contacts, but I'm having difficuly syncing new contacts I add to my Iphone with those on the Gmail server. Is this even possible? I've followed the guide found here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=43b96a25d20b75b4&hl=en to no avail. With that set up, my address book simply created duplicates of all my contacts but I still cannot sync with the gmail server.
Any help would be much appreciated.

iCloud doesn't sync with gamil, only with your iCloud contacts. If all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account with contacts syncing with iCloud enabled, changes made on one device will sync to all other devices. Also, if you're looking for a backup solution beyond using iCloud take a look a apps like My Contacts Backup.

ICloud sync with 2 users

I have a new iMac with 2 User ID's. We each have an iPhone and an iPad. We share one iTunes account and one Apple ID. I would like to know how to set up our calendars and contacts via iCloud so that the information only syncs with our own devices, not each others. Is this possible and if so, how?

Yes, you can use whatever iCloud accounts you like, they do not have to have anything to do with your iTunes AppleID.
You can each set up a new iCloud account from the phone or Mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
You might even choose to add both iCloud accounts to both sides, but sync selective information (eg to share notes, etc). Only the primary iCloud user on each side can sync with Photo Stream, though. What many people do, alternatively, is share out selective calendars to each other through the Mac Calendar's sharing feature, if you want to have access to each other's schedule.

Trouble with Gmail Syncing with Mail

Hello,
I am getting up to speed with my first Mac and loving it so far. I hope this is in the right place as I could not find a community for Mail.
I have my Mail account synced with my Gmail account and everything works fine on the Mac. However, I am noticing that during the day, when I respond to e-mails from my PC at work using Gmail, I am not seeing those responses back on my Mac when I open Mail. Come to think of it, I also have a draft email on my Mac that is not appearing in Gmail drafts folder. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance!

No one using Apple's own Mail program with Gmail?

Icloud sync with ical

My iCal isn't syncing with my iCloud calendar. Everything else seems to be working.
Can someone help me with the settings maybe?

you can't use iCloud with 10.6.x.
If you stick with Snow, you can only use iTunes 10.5 to sync the iphone locally with Mac like you did in iOS4. Basically you miss all the icloud features by doing so.
